Katy Perry has come under fire from Muslims worldwide for an act in her latest music video 'Dark Horse.' http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/02/25/katy-perry-dark-horse-muslims-allah_n_4853894.html

(4,524 posts)I really don't get why anyone cares. Religious symbols are defaced all of the time, and yet a Katy Perry music video is singled out for it?

1:15 into the video the man has a goldchain with arabic word allah, which is a religious word used in islam for god, or a more correct term it means a single diety. it is burned hence showing hate for islam

Dont mix religion or any other topics with sexually explicit videoclips !
and yes it does annoy us muslims to see a topless man wearing a necklace with gods name getting burnt or cursed whatever she done there !
and to all you people laughing down there ,, this clip will be down soon so enjoy it for the next few hours .

I am an Christian and my best friend is a Muslim (He is from Kosovo) and I can totally see why he despises this video, cause it's not cool at all. But please don't hate on Christians, although you didn't see it in this video, they are still out to get Christians too...

STOP AND THINK.
Thousands of people across the world are signing petitions to get this video removed due to a man wearing countless pieces of jewellery and who disintegrates; one of the pieces of jewellery is a necklace with the word Allah upon it.
Instead of fighting so hard for something which is so small, and will have no bearing on everyday life for billions, how about we focus our energies to the serious issues facing us as a species across the globe today, like hunger or disease.
Katy has not outright slated Muslims or their religion, nor made a specific attack on such groups with this video, as much art has done in the past, so it seems a little unjust for a call to remove this artists video. Do you not think?
